Cloud Service
A service for accessing and using a server via the Internet. If a machine supports cloud services, various
operations such as sharing data can be performed on the server.
Default Authentication (Department ID Management)
Select this login service if you want to use Department ID Management, or do not want to perform user
authentication. When using Department ID Management, users are authenticated as administrators or
end users by entering a Department ID and password. This enables them to use the machine, the Remote
UI, and MEAP applications. Register Department IDs and passwords from the touch panel display of the
machine or Remote UI.
Google Docs
A cloud service that provides three functions: Document, Spreadsheet, and Presentation. All data is
stored on a server, and can be shared with other users.
Login Service
A service for performing user authentication for a machine. To identify a certified user, a user name and
password are required for authentication. Login services for machine include Default Authentication
(Department ID Management), and SSO-H (Single Sign-On H).
MEAP Application

application file with the 'jar' extension, and a license file with the 'lic' extension.
Microsoft SharePoint Online
A cloud service that provides file sharing, portal, message board, information sharing site, and other
functions.
SAML
Security Assertion Markup Language. A protocol based on XML that enables the safe exchange of user
authentication information over the Internet.
By sharing user authentication information with other servers, authentication can be conducted for
multiple SAML-supported Web sites by entering authentication information only once.
SMS

Web browser. SMS can be used to check, install, manage, and acquire licenses files for MEAP applications,
from a computer located on the same network as the machine.
